When my favorite sifter finally wore out after years of use, I was happy to find an identical one still available. However, I quickly found out that it only looked the same. The spring mechanism was too weak to allow the sifting blades to return to position after squeezing the handle when using more than a half cup or so of flour. After less than a dozen uses, the plastic part which attached the spring to the blade broke. Unfortunately, it appears as though Kaiser has instituted the same sort of "cost takeout" process used by many companies to maximize profits at the expense of quality.

This sifter is so small. I bake a lot of cakes and need to sift
confectioners sugar into my bowl. This does not hold a box of sugar. Also, if you put too much sugar in it, it jams. It can get very tiring on the hand.

This can be a good sifter if only Kaiser does not use plastic for the movable parts... alas, mine can be jammed easily if I fill the cup to half its height and the reason is because the plastic "stick" that links the squeezing handle and the rotary can be bent pretty easily.

I would say that if you only want to sift a small amount of confectioners' sugar onto pastries, then this sifter is fine. However, I personally would not recommend this sifter over any others I have used. (i.e., get something else...)

I've tried all the other brands & contraptions for sifting flour, but this one is the best by me. It's simple, easy to use, easy to clean, and well made.

This is the only one-handed sifter I've found that works well. Most of the small stainless steel sifters that have the spring loaded handle will pinch your fingers. I hate the one that you swing back and forth to sift... what's up with that?? If this product had stainless steel vanes and actuator, I would have given it 5 stars. In any case, you can't go wrong here!

Sifter is so easy to use. Doesn't wear out my hand like my old one did! Very pleased with this one!

This is the easiest flour sifter I have ever used. Becuase of the way that it is put together, my hands/arms to do not get worn out as quickly as they do when using other flour sifters. I really enjoy this product!

I've had this sifter for about 15 years. I bought it at Kitchen Etc. The sifter never worked correctly from the start. You squeeze the handle and the blades move but they don't retract because it get stuck on the part that connects the handle to the blade. It doesn't seem bent or anything. So what I ended up doing was squeezing the handle just a little bit (1 cm) very quickly so that it sort of works but it can be tiring.

This morning I'm making pancakes and having to use the sifter for the confectioner sugar. I'm just fed up with it that I'm on Amazon to get a new sifter (I'm going to get the old fashioned one, Mrs Anderson 3 cup sifter with crank) along with some new steak knives.

The only positive about this sifter is that it still looks good 15 years later. No sign of rust, the screens are in good shape. I've put it in the dishwasher without any issues.

Love this sifter. My previous Kaiser One-Handed sifter lasted 20 years, despite it's plastic construction. I love it because it's plastic so it goes in the dishwasher and will never rust like the metal ones. It is truly one-handed sifting. I bought 2 and one of them arrived with the central piece misaligned, but I was able to re-insert it.
